“…Misinformation about COVID-19 adds to public health problems in Indonesia and globally. This has a negative impact, both directly affecting society and children, as well as causing harm to oneself due to beliefs and incorrect knowledge about the virus (COVID-19), prevention, vaccines, and treatment (Malik et al, 2023). Rahmawati et al (2021) mapped 359 hoaxes based on a report from the Directorate General of Informatics Applications, Ministry of Communication and Informatics of the Republic of Indonesia with the title Hoax Issue Report in 2020.…”

Philanthropic initiatives during disaster events have become embedded in Indonesian society. It also manifests in a digital humanitarian practice during the COVID-19 pandemic, categorized by the government as a non-natural disaster from 2020 to 2023. The spreading of misinformation and inaccurate data on cases of COVID-19 patients, have become an obstacle in the early stages of efforts to stop fatalities. As the government imposes lockdown and restrictions access to information, the news media as one of the key sources of information is under attack. Thus, citizen initiatives in stopping the pandemic are worth documented as a lesson learned when managing disasters in the future. By conducting qualitative method, this research describes the implementation of participatory journalism in practice related to the data gathering and reporting on COVID-19 cases in Indonesia by "LaporCovid-19" and "KawalCOVID19". This research finds both platforms carry out digital humanitarian practices while organizing citizens and producing, curating, and disseminating information. As the government imposes lockdown and restricted access toward media and journalists, the digital humanitarian practice involves citizens through decentralization, self-organization, volunteerism, and the optimization of digital platforms. The collaboration is a multidisciplinary subject that combines crises management, communications, network collaborative organizational structures, social computing and technology. In conclusion, their efforts offer a model to develop citizen participation in the non-natural disaster using digital apps and citizen resources. The model intertwines participatory journalism and digital humanitarian practices that engage citizens during the pandemic on both digital platforms contribute to other citizens' efforts to prevent and overcome health crises.

“…Namun, kemajuan teknologi dan media komunikasi ini juga membawa tantangan dan masalah baru, khususnya terkait dengan penyebaran informasi yang tidak akurat atau hoax (Azzimonti & Fernandes, 2023;Hossain et al, 2023). Hoax, yang seringkali disebarkan dengan tujuan tertentu, dapat menyebar dengan cepat dan luas melalui media sosial dan platform komunikasi lainnya, mengakibatkan kesalahpahaman, kepanikan, atau bahkan kerusakan pada tatanan sosial (Agissa & Mutia, 2024;Arini et al, 2023;Malik et al, 2023). Karena itu, penting untuk mengkaji lebih dalam tentang teknologi dan hoax, terutama dalam konteks dampaknya terhadap masyarakat dan bagaimana masyarakat dapat dilindungi dari informasi yang menyesatkan (Azzimonti & Fernandes, 2023;Shahzad et al, 2023).…”

This study aims to analyse and explain the urgency of communication ethics in the new media era (new media). This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with a post -positivist approach, where researchers observe and identify the phenomenon of communication ethics in new media (new media) Instagram on the @lambe_turah account naturally. This research data was obtained from the Instagram account @lambe_turah as a source of primary data, as well as from a literature review as secondary data. This research data was analysed through data reduction process, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of this study indicate, with technological developments that allow the spread of fast and broad news on social media platforms, the need to maintain integrity, honesty, and peace in communication becomes more urgent. Communication ethics plays a major role in guiding media actors to verify information carefully, avoid sensationalism, and reduce the risk of provocation to individuals or groups. In dealing with the complexity of new media, enforcement of integrity, honesty, and peace becomes a crucial foundation in ensuring public trust, promoting social harmony, and preventing unwanted conflict escalation. Although the dominance of sensational and provocative news in user interest, ethical principles remain relevant in ensuring that the message distributed is true, useful, and not detrimental. With an emphasis on the principles of communication ethics, we can use new media as a means to strengthen the values of truth, justice, and wisdom in society, as well as facilitate a deeper understanding of various groups.
